Hi all! I'm a human-computer interaction researcher working at the HCIS Lab, advised by Prof. SeungJun Kim. Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Robotics at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST).
My research focuses on human-centered computing, aiming to enhance our sensory-motor and cognitive capabilities in both physical and virtual environments. I leverage machine intelligence, sensors, and actuators through ubiquitous computing with extended reality integration to create AI-infused systems that seamlessly support and assist our daily activities. My recent work concentrates on the following areas:
